Famous quotes containing the words brother and/or earl:
“Take two kids in competition for their parents’ love and attention. Add to that the envy that one child feels for the accomplishments of the other; the resentment that each child feels for the privileges of the other; the personal frustrations that they don’t dare let out on anyone else but a brother or sister, and it’s not hard to understand why in families across the land, the sibling relationship contains enough emotional dynamite to set off rounds of daily explosions.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
“Here lies our Sovereign Lord, the King
Whose word no man relies on:
He never said a foolish thing
Nor ever did a wise one.”
—John Wilmot, 2nd Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
